Ps: I was logged the whole time on my admin account so that's why I don't see how to fix it...
I had that problem too at the start, but figured it out. Go to your 'opt' folder, and left click it. Choose 'Get Info' when the little window pops up, go to the bottom where there is a lock, it probably shows that it's locked. Click that, (it will unlock it). Now where you see I believe, 'System', 'Admin', and 'Everyone', and changed them all to 'Read & Write'. If you're on the admin account you should only have to change the 'System' one, I think. Do the same on the sources.conf, and it should work. If not, repeat those steps on all of the folders that sources.conf is in. It should work, so try to edit it again.

It worked for me, so I guess it'll work for you.
